The result shows that the microstructure of the alloy is not uniform and high densities of dislocations and slip bands are found within some of the grains. The micro-galvanic coupling between coarse second phase particles and aluminum matrix leads to mild pitting corrosion and the corrosion behavior is related to the types of the phase particles. Severe localized corrosion (SLC) is associated with heterogeneous plastic deformation and preferential precipitation during aging. Heterogeneous plastic deformation induces that population density of dislocations increases and number or volume fraction of the electrochemically active T (Al CuLi) phase consequently increases after artificial aging, resulting in increased corrosion susceptibility in local 1 2 regions which leads to SLC.
